—The Perfect Drum Kit for a Dry, “Tight” Studio Sound; Includes Second Sample Set with Room Mics for the Big “Bohnam” Drum Sound—

Smart Loops, a leading provider of pro audio loops and web-based recording services, has released SL Tight Kit, one of the company’s new SL Sample Sets for Mac and PC software samplers.

Launched this year, SL Sample Sets provide musicians and producers with the pro-quality drum sounds for Mac and PC-based recordings. These live drum samples are available as downloads from the Smart Loops web site, for use with Steinberg HALion, Cakewalk Dimension Pro, Rapture, Project5, SONAR, Reason NN-XT, Native Instruments KONTAKT & Battery, and many other DXi/VST software samplers. SL Sample Sets also work with any SoundFont 2.0 compatible sound cards, including the Creative Labs SB Live and SB Audigy cards.

SL Tight Kit provides two sample sets for the price of one: the first is a full drum kit, fully EQ’d and compressed, providing a dry, “tight” studio sound; the second set is the same Tight Kit with EQ and compression,
but also includes the sampled room mics, providing that extra big, “John Bonham” sound.

SL Tight Kit and other SL Sample Sets are now available as downloads from Smart Loops for an introductory price of $39 each, or $29 each when purchasing two or more together. For more information and to audition
